Before You Start
68
The card is new.
The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.
The card is full with images or data.
A card-related error is displayed
(p.487).
Format the card in the following cases:
Low-level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting if the SD card’s reading or writing speed
seems slow or if you want to totally erase all data on the card.
Since low-level formatting will erase all recordable sectors on the SD card,
the formatting will take longer than normal formatting.
You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [
Cancel
]. Even in this
case, normal formatting will be completed and you can use the SD card as
usual.
When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management
information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be
aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to
prevent the personal data from being leaked.
Before using a new Eye-Fi card (p.451), the software on the card must
be installed on your computer. Then format the card with the camera.
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller
than the capacity indicated on the card.
